Several years ago I ran a contest known as the "Slaughter Challenge" which was the idea of a member of my alliance at the time. We unfortunately lost him during a robbery attempt at the store he worked at. This November will mark the 10th anniversary of his passing so I have decided to run the Slaughter Challenge again in remembrance of him.

The contest will be held in Morya, arena 28, beginning on the turn that is due on November 6th, 2014 (turn 378 I believe). Tourney participation is not allowed during the contest but the contest will start after the fall Mailer so you can get your warriors a few fight experience should you choose to. The timing of the contest was done to allow entry into the fall mailer.

The rules are fairly simple and inspired to let us all feel what it is like to run warriors like Jorja does. Her teams across Alastari may sometimes be taken for granted so this contest will allow us to appreciate her teams a little better as they populate the arenas we fight in.

The Rules-

There are no challenges, avoids, bloodfeuds, or tourneys allowed and only one single use of the Dark Arena is allowed after the contest begins. Win or lose the Dark Arena is allowed but once, so if you want your warrior dead be sure and throw the fight!

The contest will last for 12 turns. May I point out that if you use your Dark Arena fight you will get either 2 points, for winning, or -2, for losing, and ALL fights count in the scoring. It matters not if you fight a non-contest warrior or a stand-in; they still count as much as fighting a contest warrior. This will be a test of basic strategy with a touch of luck added in as well.

If anyone should break the no tourney rule they will lose 5 points for each warrior entered and those warriors, and any subsequent warriors who replace them in death, cannot score points! The one exception are the dead tournies. Should you wish you may enter your warriors in dead tournies, since they are not a member of your team,or even the living, at the time. The warrior may even return to the contest if a natural opening can be found for it, or you choose to use your Dark Arena fight to make that opening (if you still have that option left).Break the no DA, challenge, or avoid rules and you will be DQ'd as soon as the transgression is discovered. To keep the contest playing field as level as possible, we will have no messing with these rules. Of course you may DA the one time, just as a clarification, but the second time gets you DQ'd. This also counts if it is found you bring a second team in for the purpose of making challenges; you will be DQ'd.

Scoring is as follows:

1 point for winning
1 point for killing (giving 2 in total, 1 for the win and 1 for the kill)
1 point for at least one of your warriors writing a personal (regardless of number of personals beyond one you still only get one point). Make sure it is written from one of your team's warriors and not simply the manager entity or you will not get the point.
-1 point for losing
-1 point for being killed (giving -2 in total, -1 for losing and -1 for being killed)
-5 points and the loss of that warrior's slot for scoring the remainder of the contest for entering a warrior into a REGULAR tourney (again DEAD tourney is open)

The Prizes:
1st place - +1 bonus to one warrior on the team, 1 resurrection potion, and 1 favorite knowledge
2nd place - +1 bonus for one warrior, 1 favorites knowledge
3rd place- +1 bonus for one warrior

Iron Manager Award- Run 54 of the possible 60 fights and get a +1 bonus potion

The bonus potions and favorites knowledge must be used on warriors with 5 FE or more and MUST be used within 2 turns of the end of the contest. The ressurection potion must be used within 6 months of the end of the contest but may be used on any warrior regardless of FE. ALL prizes must be used on the contest team, they are NOT transferrable to another team!

I will also ask that as the contest start approaches that you supply me with the name of the team that you are entering!

Part of the reason I chose a slow arena is so people could possibly bring dormant teams from fast arenas that may have a prized dead warrior on it that people would be willing to take a chance on getting them back by winning the contest!

We think we already said we were in, but we will reiterate that we are in. Thanks for hosting it, Street.
